Default I Got My Mud Lites!!!

I got home from work tonight at 1:30am and found four big @ss boxes waiting for me in the garage. Instant excitement. It was my big wheel kit I had ordered last week. 26" Mud Lites on ITP Series 5 rims, for $530 shipped. This included the chrome lug nuts and center caps. I had looked on the net forever trying to find the best deal, and this was the best I could find on what I wanted. Anyways, I start opening the boxes, and I see that he had sent me 26x10x12 front tires, when I had asked if it came with 26x9x12's because I had read over and over that 10's were too wide. Hell my stock 8" tires were really tight. But even though I was pretty worried and a bit pissed, I thought I better make sure they didn't fit before I got too irrate. Lo and behold they fit fine. Actually there is even more space then my 8" wide Goodyears had. So I guess the offset on the rim allows for the use of this wide of a front tire. Anyways I got them all on, and they look sweet as hell. They even make my beat to hell Sportsman look sexy, lol. I can't wait to try them out this weekend. Amazing how four new tires and rims and a few cold Keystone Light's can put you in an awesome mood. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Wow, you are my savior!! I also just received my 26" MUDLITE XL's and ITP type 5 wheels. I have been sweatin the fitting issue. I went ahead and got the 10" fronts on mine so I wouldnt have to wait, they were out of 9's. No spacers and more clearance huh, thats awesome!! BTW, I got mine off of ebay, all brand new, wheels, tires, lugs, centers ready to bolt on for $548. That was the best I found, where did you get yours? So how much further do they stick out than the stockers??

I just got mine yesterday - put them on just now. C-Series Type 4 ITP Mud Lites, 25x8x12 front, 25x10x12 rear.

The web site pictures don't do these things justice. The rear lugs are huge. The quad is overall 2" wider in front and 1" wider in rear compared to stock (that is, total width of quad, front and rear). My measurements had it at 45"s wide front - now 47", Rear was 44" - now 45'. It is now a 1" and 1/2" taller quad - remember stock tire size is not as claimed on tire. The tires and wheels are each a total of 5 Lb's heavier in front and 8 Lb's more in the rear. This is an 03 330 Trail Boss.

Lost some take off and full throttle rpm's. I have a new primary spring coming to compensate it back to the way it was - higher engagement and higher R's at full. It currently has the EPI red and the RCR Stage One Kit.

$520. with lugs, mounted tires, chrome valve stems, and shipping - tell Mike Luke said hello.

I got them here Hahm's

I got mine off Ebay from a guy that runs a company called Outdoorsman ATV. They stick out about what Lukester says they do on the 25's, maybe a bit more. I didn't measure. This quad was already gonna get me covered in mud when I'm in the mud. Now I'll get muddier, and stuck worse. Not bad for $530, eh? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Thanks for the reply Folger,

That's a great size for the 400 !!!

I was trying to find Outdoorsman ATV on eBay and was unable to locate him by store or seller search ?

Would you happen to know what his store name is?

Thanks,
Mike
